Austria have also qualified for the finals which are being hosted across Europe and are in a group with Ukraine, Netherlands and a nation to be decided after the Nations League qualifiers in March.

Ben Woodburn’s strike gave Wales a 1-0 victory when they faced Austria in Cardiff during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers campaign.
